Cloud Security encompasses policies, controls and technologies that work together to protect cloud-based systems, data and infrastructure. It’s a shared responsibility between the cloud service provider and customer with each assuming different responsibilities based on the type of cloud services and deployment models being used.

Preventive security controls securing data and applications “in the cloud” include network access control, identity and access management, and data encryption. These controls are important because many of the same vulnerabilities that exist in traditional on-premises environments can still be exploited by attackers in the cloud.

Detective controls help detect suspicious activity on a cloud system, and respond to and stop attacks as they occur. They can also improve visibility into a cloud environment to help identify and prioritize issues.

Compliance management remains challenging in a cloud environment due to the sheer number of changes, ephemeral workloads and dynamically scaling resources that can be added or removed in seconds. Tools that manage this complexity can help reduce risks and proactively ensure compliance with internal policies and external regulations and laws.

Disaster recovery solutions are essential to ensure business continuity in the event of a security incident or significant outage. They provide tools and services to restore or recover data, apps and systems as quickly as possible, minimizing impact to the organization.

Multi clouds are combinations of different cloud types, often public and private, which are combined using a combination of local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs) or virtual private networks (VPNs). They are then managed through an integrated management and orchestration platform. These solutions enable organizations to connect their cloud and on-premises infrastructures and share data seamlessly without compromising privacy or security.
